7 Come 11

7 come 11, and we cashed in
all we'd won blown to the wind

I remember those days long ago
I remember those nights we laid low
sneaking in the back door late at night
we never got caught, we played it right

against the walls of St. Stephens we rolled the dice
praying that them old bones would come up right

every single night you haunt my dreams
til nothin' in this life is what it seems
I wonder now if you remember me
cause I miss you like salt would miss the sea

I want to go back to the good old days
roll my way into a brand new game
dealer, deal me in another hand
bring back them good times if you can

cause life is a gamble, you take your chance
lay your money down, place your bets
win some and baby, lose some, they say

but you lay it on the line, see if it pays
yeah you lay it on the line, see if it pays

7 come 11, we cashed in
